it's in syria and in iraq. if the military is just attacking in iraq, clearly that's leaving a very large part of the organization untouched. things changed just last month with that raid. that secret commando raid that's only now coming out, a few details are emerging. what was significant is defense secretary hagel said although the rate didn't succeed in recovering hostages it went smoothly. that means when u.s. fighterer jets, u.s. attack helicopters entered syrian air space, they weren't attacked. the syrian air defenses, which as we have been talking about as being sophisticated didn't target in. didn't lock in on american jets and seemed to ak by es to their presence as long as they were going toward the isis stronghold. it could have been interpreted as a green light that if the u.s. wants to car rery out operations against isis in syria, the syrian government wouldn't mind. >> thank you, richard. for more on the threat from isis, i'm joined by nbc political analyst colonel jack jacobs and evan coleman,

he stood up to obama when obama was going to start bombing syria without congressional authorization. he asked for the president to ask for authorization for libya. he's already neck deep in a lot of deep republican currents. it's those things because he's a true fiscal conservative that he can say it and change the party. if nothing else, i don't care if a republican wins or a democrat. i think he'll make for a much more interesting political discourse about the role and the size, scope and spending of government. >> putting him on the stage with chris christie, ted cruz and see what happens. thank you. appreciate it. up next, the corruption trial of former virginia trial bob mcdonnell. the prosecution has made its case. now it is the defense's attorney. this is "hardball," the place for politics. we're the names you know, in the places you want to be. where you can explore super destinations and do everything under the sun. twelve brands. more hotels than anyone else in the world. for a chance to win one million dollars, visit wyndhamrewards.com >>> one of the most dramatic stories
